The weekly Bible Lesson is important to me!

From the November 2000 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My concept of life has been changing for the better since I started reading the Bible Lessons from the Christian Science Quarterly every day.

Some years ago, when I was about twelve, my brothers and I started attending a Christian Science Sunday School in Brazil. At that time, the Church of Christ, Scientist, was for me just a church like any other one, where people go on Sundays and listen to spiritual messages. I didn't realize the power that spiritual ideas could have in my life. But as I grew up, I started to feel the need for help in order to solve my personal problems. And I knew that I should use the ideas that I had learned from my Sunday School classes. But the problem was how to apply them. I wasn't really using what I was learning.

Then last year I had an opportunity to attend high school in another country and improve my knowledge of a foreign language I had been studying for many years. I was also able to learn about a different culture. But this change caused me to be afraid, sad, and lonely. I was afraid about the school that I was going to attend, because I did not know the people and also because I had heard bad things about the violence in public schools. I also felt alone because I was not with my parents and brothers, and I could not see my old friends.
